Re: Football Bets 2013/14 Season

I have stuck and renamed the thread. Good luck, I don't really think about mine, just put them on to add excitement. I usually do a 14 fold on the Coral coupon and a couple of smaller bets. One I have on atm is:

Re: Football Bets 2013/14 Season

Guys,

I have a python script I knocked up for my little syndicate with a few other mates.
The script scrapes this weeks fixtures off Sky from the UK Long List and the European Long List and puts them into a .txt file.

The reason for it is so the guys can have a text file at work to see the games and odds as some of us have restricted access to certain sites in the offices we work in and looking on the iPhone is a ball ache.

I then have a second script that extracts games with selected odds. So for bet 1 (we put 2 on a week) I extract the games with odds x/x and then do the same for bet 2.
It puts it again into a text file with the date/league and suggested result (home/draw/away).

You need python 2.7 installed to run it, I have attached a couple of example files from last weekend. View them in textpad or wordpad... If your on a Mac they will be fine. The point is to try and work with the bookies and not bet with your heart - 2/5 has let us down so far this season so we might get rid of that but so far we are in credit after 4 weeks.

Re: Football Bets 2013/14 Season

There are 4 of us and we pick one each from Bet 1 and Bet 2
We stick £15 on Bet 1 (£10 cash and £5 Free Bet from the Skybet promo) and £5 on bet 2 ensuring bet 2 is 5/1 or better in total to qualify for next weeks free £5 bet.

2/5 has let us down a couple of times this season.. we are been cautious with that one.
We are not looking to make £100+ each week, we are trying to turn the £15 into £50ish where possible. We have worked out 41 betting weeks and we need to make £615 to break even. We have made a decent dent so far in that

Re: Football Bets 2013/14 Season

I can post these each week if required? I have automated it so that they get produced and emailed to me every Thursday Morning.
I can add more odds/do individual ones (send to personal email) or alternatively give people my Python Script and they can modify it themselves with me helping out where needed.

Re: Football Bets 2013/14 Season

I'll be up for seeing any tips and thoughts. Like most I play for fun, Although follow a set pattern.

£50 stake.
Once I triple the Stake, I put £50 back into my bank, £50 in savings and £50 to re bet with.
Once I've taken my stake back, I'll use between £50-£100 to bet with. With any big win, I'll put half or more into savings and use the rest to re bet.
Although I've not had to put any in for 7 months now, and have put quiet a bit in savings.

Usually put about £30 a week on, with mixture of 1-2 £10/£15 Doubles on. And then 5-6, five fold + accys. if one of them comes in, pretty decent.

Re: Football Bets 2013/14 Season

Just for fun I do 4 £2.50 bets each weekend of 1st goalscorers usually in the premiership but certainly not exclusively. This weeks bets are
Man City - Edin Dzeko £2.50 @ 7/2
Everton - Nikica Jelavic £2.50 @ 6/1
Man Utd - Van Percy - £2.50 @ 4/1....so tempted by Daniel Sturridge @ 11/2 here but Van Percy gets my nod here.....Remember 1st goalscorer does not reflect who I may or may not think will win the tie
Swansea - Wilfried Bony £2.50 @ 7/1
I also always stick a £1 accumulator on all 4 which if it comes in gives a very nice bonus.
So £11 staked per weekend
